So you think that slashing out GDP and having an artifical depression “saved” us from the terrible scourge of paying off more of the debt and having a lower debt – as you say that a lower debt means we’d have a “Greek Style” crisis…I see.

Not to mention we have a fiat currency, and too-low inflation.

Thanks, Tory, keep defending shrinking the GDP and increasing poverty. How much have you dropped your workers’s wages?

I dislike Nick Clegg and he has contradicted himself on lots of things but not this. Without a coalition, spending cuts, (which lets not forget Labour promised cuts to half the deficit and the coalition has only cut it by 1/3)
would have led to massive unrest on the street. Making the cuts also prevented a Greek style debt crisis – when a country owes 175 of its GDP it is in trouble – whatever your view of economics.

As we all know, Clegg will say anything to get votes – and he’s a desperate man.
